Well, all that planning, all that driving, and all that fun. Our roadtrip has come to an end. It's been a blast, and we'd do it all over again if we could. Probably not all that differently - we were frequently surprised at just how smoothly the plans we made before leaving worked out on the road. And once we got 'off the routine of a pre-confirmed schedule', we made friends with Hotwire and found that that worked out just as well for us. We certainly didn't see it all, how could you in a country as vast and diverse as the United States of America, but we covered as much ground as we hoped and were rarely disappointed with our choices.A little more time to unwind in certain places would have been welcome, but with a (sort of) school time frame and budget to work within we will leave America having a much, much, better geographical understanding, a couple of weeks worth of CNN coverage of US politics up our sleeve, and a sketchy, but better, knowledge of American history and Presidents
